• STEM Journal Club – This program aims to develop STEM communication and literacy skills for Metro Atlanta high school students from ethnic and racial communities with historically low participation in high-level STEM research competitions. Participants will engage in scholarly research, read, and analyze STEM literature (journals), and gain exposure to relevant concepts to spark their interest in STEM Research. The final project for the STEM Journal Club participants is the creation of a podcast episode based on a STEM journal article, which will be featured on our SEM Explained podcast. It is a hybrid program which has digital and in-person learning opportunities that take place from October through May.

• STEM Fair Judging (October-February) – SEM Link will recruit volunteers to serve as judges for school and district fairs. The recruitment process will start in October.  The judging at schools will take place in November and December and the district fairs in January and February.
• STEM Literacy Program – This goal of this program is to provide youth with opportunities to develop their STEM literacy skills through various literacy initiatives and programs which include donating culturally relevant STEM books to community spaces and STEM Literacy events in communities.
